    "A wildly diverse improviser/composer/arranger with a penchant for unorthodox instrumental combinations, guitarist Joel Harrison has sustained one of the most unpredictable discographies of the last decade with his chimerical mix of jazz, blues, chamber music, African and Indian folk music, Appalachian tunes and old school country songs." - All About Jazz
    "Definitions blur, and suddenly it no longer matters whether Harrison improvises or composes. Whether his playground is jazz, pop, folk, country, or classical it all comes down to this: imagination without limits." - Jazzthing, Germany
    "Add Joel Harrison to Metheny and Frisell as guitarist/ composers who have created a new blueprint for jazz." - New Orleans Times Picayune
